Agree with everything except there's no way Gayle doesn't win ROY.

Belker is a key contributor on a team arguably better than last years title winner. Gayle is very good, a definite All-Ivy player in her career.

POY: Hsu (Columbia)
DPOY: Mitchell (Princeton)
ROY: Gayle (Penn)
COY: Griffith (Columbia)
The top 3 (Hsu, Chen, Turner) seem like a lock for the 1st team. After that, there are a number of players who could be considered for the last two spot.
There are also more than 5 players who arguably be included in the 2nd team.
The league's HM list tends to be rather short, even though there are a large number of deserving players.
1st team
Hsu (Columbia)
Chen (Princeton)
Turner (Harvard)
Clark (Yale)
Mitchell (Princeton)
2nd Team
Jones (Brown)
Henderson (Columbia)
St. Rose (Princeton)
Mullaney (Harvard)
Obi (Penn)
HM
Collins (Columbia)
Almqvist or Gayle (Penn)

I agree in principle, but think it

To be clear, I love how Belker plays, I think long term she is going to be a great Tiger.
But Gayle is top-10 in the league in scoring and has won Ivy Rookie of the Week 7 times. She's also 2nd in the league in turnovers, but doubt that will be held against her.

Two names seem like they should gain more consideration - Brenna McDonald at Yale and Clare Meyer at Dartmouth and perhaps Cecelia Collins at Columbia could be 1st team and Stina Almqvist could be 2nd Team.
Typically PPG in Ivy Games correlates highly with All Ivy Honors:
Top 15 players by PPG
PLAYER TEAM PTS
Abbey Hsu Columbia 19.5
Harmoni Turner Harvard 17.8
Grace Arnolie Brown 16.2
Kyla Jones Brown 16

Jordan Obi Penn 14.5
Stina Almqvist Penn 14.5
Mataya Gayle Penn 13.9
Katie Krupa Harvard 13.8
Brenna McDonald Yale 12.8
Jenna Clark Yale 12.5
Madison St. Rose Princeton 12.5
Lola Mullaney Harvard 11.9
Clare Meyer Dartmouth 10.2
Through the PER lens for those who also play 20+ min a game there are some different names to consider and a different order to consider

Absolutely stunning that the Ivy coaches did not name Ellie Mitchell to the First Team. An absolute game-changing force, every team has had to reckon with the impact Ellie has had on the
league for the past three years.
Hsu as POY was expected and deserved, she has been incredible. If Chen had a better game or hit the game winner in Levien, that may have changed the outcome, but she didn’t.

If I were hiring a coach, I would
take Berube over Griffith every time.
They tied for the title the last two
years, and Griffith got COY both
times. Griffith is good and has
built a solid program, but Berube's
consistent excellence deserves some
recognition.

100% agree about Mitchell. If I were drafting a team from scratch, I’d take her over Turner, Obi, and Jones without hesitation.

Post season Ivy awards are highlight correlated with scoring. 14 of the 15 award winners were in the top 15 in scoring. Only the DPOY, Mitchell made a list, without being a top scorer. Mitchell is well deserving of making the list - Ellie plays so intelligently, gaining advantages for her team.
PLAYER TEAM PTS
Abbey Hsu Columbia 19.4
Harmoni Turner Harvard 18.5
Kyla Jones Brown 16.9

The problem with McDonald (and Meyer) imo is that they put up good numbers on poor/mediocre teams. I can think of several players more deserving than McDonald.
Regarding Griffith over Berube, many didn’t think Columbia had a prayer at a 13-1 record after losing three key players from last year’s 12-2 team.

I hear you on McDonald & Meyer on good numbers on non Ivy Madness teams ...
As for Griffith vs. Berube ... one could debate all Friday evening. I believe Columbia being 13-1 is a shade more unexpected than Princeton being 13-1, so I would go with Griffith in Ivy Play. Berube for overall record vs. harder out of conference competition.
Coaches who don't make Ivy Madness don't win awards. But Monique LeBlanc at Brown won 4.4 more games (including two Big East wins) than expected. More than Columba (1.6) & Princeton (2.7) combined. So an HM for Coach LeBlanc.

Jones and Obi getting first team makes no sense. St Rose and Collins are much more deserving. Mitchell, too.
